Tour

1 Bateau Bus

This stop is located on the North quay of the Port Hercule, opposite the large yachts. During the Monaco Grand Prix, you will find yourself exactly within the famous chicane where the formula 1 cars have to brake hard, having reached 250 kmph when leaving the tunnel.

From this stop you can take the boat bus that takes you from the other side of the port, to the foot of the old town, very close to the cruise terminal.

A few hundred metres from here you can also walk to the magnificent terraces of the Casino, taking the lifts located at the entrance to the tunnel

5 Monte-Carlo Casino

You have now arrived in the Monte-Carlo district. Stop here to visit the Place du casino, where you can admire the luxury cars or have a glass of something at the Café de Paris.

The Monte-Carlo Casino is the work of an architect who has entered the annals of history, Charles Garnier, to whom we also owe the majestic Paris Opéra, and which, from the outset has been devoted to the Art of Gaming. Frescoes executed in the manner of the painter Boucher, bas-reliefs, sculptures and caryatids, a stunning atrium all in marble and gold. The architecture confers upon the place its solemnity and an unforgettable profoundness of emotions.

Built in 1863, next to the sea, the Monte-Carlo Casino has seen some of the finest moments of Monte-Carlo and endowed gaming with a nobility all its own. The Casino also houses the Monte-Carlo Opera, whose exceptional seasons follow each other in the setting of this fabulous décor.
